The majority of missing persons cases are solved, yet many families and friends who continue to wait, day after day, for their loved ones to be located.
After news broke of two murder charges against David Misch, we spoke with Midsi Sanchez who was kidnapped in Vallejo as a child, and Marc Klaas, whose daughter Polly was kidnapped in Petaluma.
Misch is already in Santa Rita Jail serving a prior murder conviction and is awaiting trial for a double murder committed in Fremont in 1986 of friends Jennifer Duey and Michelle Xavier.
Now, other law enforcement agencies including Dublin Police Services, are revisiting their kidnapping cold cases.
Ilene Misheloff was last seen walking home from school in Dublin on Jan. 30, 1989. Definitely piqued our interest and sparked us to look into this individual to see if there s any links to our case as well, said Nate Schmidt, Captain with Dublin Police Services.
